Admiral POrter's Cash,

Admiral Porter, who put too much Of his
prize money into bricks and mortar when he
reconstructed his house, has found literary
work an easy way OF replenishing his Golfers
He received $50, 900 bonus when he handed i'm
the last page of manuscript of his naval his
tory, and in addition royalty Of 20 per cent.
is paid him on books sold, so that he has thus
far pocketed about $4,000 cash from this
source. The admiral has also written two
novels, which have been mercilessly criti-
cised, but from which he has derived hand
some revenue. His inventions in torpedo
boats and other naval matters have not been
practically successful. Perley Poore.
Raoul was free now from all stain.
Valentine loved him and was his fance. But
all his cherished dreams were not to be
realized. The great emotions he had gone
through had made his old wound open anew.
His intense happiness had caused him to rally
for time, but, as the doctor had predicted,
he was a doomed man.
He was not strong enough to be moved far,
but was taken to a charming little chateau,
Just outside the town, where his mother, mis-
cradle at the unjust reproaches she had made
him, accompanied him, and where Valentine
and her father, who had taken lodgings close
by to be always near him, came constantly to
see him. The young girl, with all the ardor
of her youth and health, was as convinced Of
his recovery as she had been Of his acquittal;
but one was as fictitious as the other.
Raoul had seen death too often to be de-
ceived; and when she babbled of future
prospects and plans his courage failed
him. He would scarce let her be
out of his sight, and, propped up with
pillows, would gaze at her, as if he wished to
take the adored image beyond the grave.
And bis fiance never seemed TO be able TO do
enough to satisfy her remorse and to atone to
him for what he had suffered through her.
All her charming coquetry was employed to
amuse him, and her prettiest blue toilets
were put on to please his fancy. Her lux
uTiant hair was dressed as he liked it, and he
was never tired of touching ard caressing it.
She would then laugh joyously, for how
could he he very III. when he could assume

Getting a Homestead.

The ultimate aim, to be kept constantly in
view by both husband and wife, is the attain
ment Of a homestead, and the conversion of
that home into a highly attractive locality
externally and internally, physically, socially
and morally, into a home Of delight for
parents, children and relatives.
By what means is this to be effected!
Chiefly by the united effort Of husband and
wife to bear and forbear, when they differ and
feel inclined to be hasty; by the constant exer-
else Of self control, of mutual confidence, a full
understanding as to their pecuniary affairs,
a recognition that each has individual rights,
which need not interfere, and that the exer-
else Of family affection is highly conducive
to happiness. Let the children feel that the
parents are their warnest friends; that the
heart, especially Of the mother, is ever open
to sympathize and advise regarding all trials
and Affections, trivial or important.-Richard
Owen in The Current.

What Pompeii Died or

A reporter CHANGED to be standing beside

from the famous novel The lady glanced
around listlessly and said: II would like to

FACE.

II you adore the beauty Of deep and tranquil
sky,
But turn upon that picture and survey the quiet
eye.
I've watched the laughter flowing
In the flush Of happy morn;
Admired the patient glowing
Meath a sorrow earthly born;
But when saw the glory Of a setting midday sun
knelt with soul Of passion by the dead and silent
onel
II you incline with pleasure to the murmur of a
rill,
Pray ope those ruby portals If thy rapture hath
the skill
I've heard the gushing waters
Ripple ecstasy in play;
Revered submissive falters
As they flowed harsher way;
But when the sea Of future took the stream IN It's
embrace
bowed with alteration TO a sweet, departed
gracei
II spirit has future in the creed that you be-
lieve,
Command her soul to enter in the picture you
perceive;
Direct the eyes TO tighten
In the sun of happy noon;
Enion thelips to brighten
And with patient love attune-
Then give her to the lover whose wilful, wander
ing heart
Has come, at last TO worship at the shrine OF
counterpart

Cases Of Cheese Poisoning.

In England cases Of cheese poisoning are
rare, and in France, where cheese is largely
consumed, they are all but unknown. But,
according to Or. Victor c. Vau' I'm, of the
Michigan stats board of health, the annual
number Of such instances in the United
States must be several hundred, if it does not
reach 1000. In Germany cheese poisoning is
also frequent. The symptoms generally in
clude dryness CT the throat, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, etc. AS a rule, recovery takes
place.-Public Opinion.

The State of Texas, to the Sheriff or any Cor

The State of Texas, to the Sheriff or any Con-
stable Of Bexar County Directing:
You are hereby commanded that by making
publication of this citation in some newspaper
published in the county of BeXar once IN each
week for four consecutive weeks previous 10
the return day hereof, you summon William
W, SelleCk, whose residence is unknown, to
he and appear at the next regular term of the
District Court of BeXar County, to be holden
at the Courthouse thereof, in the city of San
Antonio, on the first Monday in September
next, the same being the 9TH day of Septem-
Der, A. ID. 1887, then and there to answer
petition filed In said court on the 18th day of
June, A. d. 1887, in a suit numbered 3l57 on
the docket of said court, wherein Ella V. Sc'-
leck is plaintiff and said william W. Selleck IS
defendant.
Plaintiff in her petition alleges that she and
defendant, on December "A, 1882 in Frio cOun-
ty, Texas, were married, and continued to live
with him as his wife until about April q, 1886;
that during all that time she conducted her
self with propriety, managing the household
affairs with prudence and economy, and at all
times treated her said husband with kindness
and forbearance, but that defendant, disre-
gard1ng the solemnity of his marriage VOWS
and his obligation to treat plaintiff with kind
ness and attention, within one month atl,
their said marriage began course of unkind
harsh and tyrannical conduct toward heI
which continued constantly until she finally
separated from him on or about the said 9Th
day of April, 1886. That on divers occasions,
while plaintiff lived with defendant, he was
guilty of excuses, cruel treatment and out
RACES toward her of such nature as to render
their living together insupportable. That said
series of abuses eliminated on April 9, 1886,
by defendant striking plaintiff in the face
with his hand without having any reason
whatever for so doing, whereupon plaintiff re-
fused any longer to live with him as his wife
and did then and there separate from him and
has not lived with him as his wifi -osince.
wherefore plaintin prays forl Judgment dis
solving the marriage between her and defend
ant, for costs and general relief.
Herein fall not, but have you before said
court, on the said first day of the next term
thereof, this writ with your retur., thereon,
showing how you have executed theEame.
